BABOS IN NEC DEAL

Gábor Babos has agreed to join NEC in a one-season deal. The goalie had
a disappointing first campaign at De Kuip after his arrival from NAC
Breda. The 2004 Goalkeeper of the Year was made first choice by Ruud
Gullit, but was edged aside by Patrick Lodewijks on more than one
occasion as the season unfurled. The loan paves the way for Egyptian
Sherif Ekramy to join Feyenoord’s first-team squad, reversing the
club’s original decision to farm the 22-year-old keeper out to
Excelsior.

The club’s third keeper Maikel Aerts also hooks up with the
Rotterdammers on 1 July after spending the past season at RBC
Roosendaal, despite signing a deal with Feyenoord during the season
just ended.
